“If you’re driving past the corner of Tryon Street and East Boulevard with your windows down, the smell hits you as hard as a bucket of Krispy Kreme donut glaze. Don’t be confused though; it’s not some ancient odor left behind from the long-gone Krispy Kreme doughnut store front that once hawked the sweet treats nearby. It’s Carolina Foods, which manufactures its own brand of Duchess doughnuts, coffee cakes, Dunkin Sticks and more. It’s been in operation since the 1930s, when it opened under the direction of Vernon Scarborough. The same family owns the business today.”

At Carolina Foods, we make all of our products using the finest ingredients, blended in house to ensure that we have superior taste and quality. Once you taste our baked goods you will come back wanting more.
